Fiore is a character whose first and only appearance is in the Sailor Moon R movie.

As a child, he wandered the universe alone until finally, exhausted, he ended up on Earth. Mamoru Chiba found him lying on the ground outside the hospital (where he was staying after the car accident that killed his parents). Fiore soon had to leave again, however, presumably because of his alien physiology. Before he left, Mamoru gave him a rose, and Fiore promised to return the favor. He resumed his travels through space where, at some unknown time and place, he discovered the malevolent Xenian Flower and took it to give to Mamoru.

When he returned, however, he discovered Mamoru's relationship with Usagi and jealously attacked her. (Despite speculation by the Sailor Senshi in the movie, and fans in real life, the relationship between Fiore and Mamoru is never outright explained, and could be construed as a deep friendship or a homosexual love depending on the viewer's opinion. This relationship was, however, eliminated in the North American dub.)

Fiore and the Xenian attacked Earth, but in a battle with the Senshi, Fiore accidentally wounded Tuxedo Mask when he took a blow for Sailor Moon. Distressed, he took Mamoru away with him to the asteroid heading towards earth that was covered with Xenian flowers. He placed Mamoru inside a large fluid-filled crystal to heal him.

The Senshi also made their way to the asteroid and a massive battle with Fiore ensued. In his determination to protect Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask escaped from the crystal and, even though still badly injured, sided against Fiore. Believing that everything he loved had been taken away from him, Fiore decided to crash the asteroid into earth. After a vision revealed to him that the rose Mamoru gave him originally came from Usagi, he repented and the flower's hold on him was broken. When Sailor Moon died after using the Silver Crystal to stop the asteroid, Fiore used his own life force to revive her, turning back into his child form in the process.

His physical resemblance to Ail and An has spurred fan speculation over whether he was one of the Makaiju's children.
